Happy Go Puppy

Dawn and HappyGoPuppy provide a wonderful environment for pet sitting and I’m very grateful to have found her. Before agreeing to dog sit my Bulldog she suggested a meet n greet to see his temperament and how well he can socialize with others cats/​dogs. This may sound like a pain to some people, but it was actually very reassuring to know that I wasn’t leaving my pet with someone who would board him with someone else’s aggressive pet, or just a situation where two dogs don’t get along. It shows respect for her current clients, and myself as a potential client. Needless to say, the meet n greet and eventual 5 day dog sitting went really well! She, and her fiancé Ed, are clearly pet lovers who have cultivated a happy home for their own furry friends, as well as my dog when’s he’s there. My bulldog is seriously BFF’s with their little guy Sylvester :-D. Knowing that Dawn also works at a vet office and is very familiar with all kinds of animals and how to deal with any issues should they arise, gave me great confidence when leaving my dog with her and Ed. They also provided me with continual updates and photos to let me know he was happy and healthy. All in all a great experience and I will definitely be using them again

I first started working with Dawn when my older cat, Clue, got sick about a year ago and started needing daily medication. Since then, whenever I’m going out of town, Dawn comes to take care of my two kitties and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is so reliable and cares for them as if they were her own. I love receiving the picture updates of my kitties while I’m away — it’s a reminder that they’re being loved and I don’t have to worry.
Dawn always goes above and beyond my expectations and I can tell she’s truly passionate about her work. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I had a great experience with Dawn. When I lived in Brooklyn several months ago, I had to leave town quickly due to a family emergency, and Dawn came to the rescue, and watched my cat, Jack, for me. He has a special diet and Dawn was very attentive when I showed her, and asked all the right questions. It was only for a few days, but I felt better knowing someone was looking in on my precious kitty. I would definitely use her again if I were still in Brooklyn!

Much like some people’s desire to have a child, I’ve wanted a dog for years. When I finally decided on the breed it was just a matter of the right little soul being matched with mine. From choosing a name in anticipation of His arrival to the world to using a week of vacation to bond with and transition Him into Our home… to His first Dr. visit to every panicked «wellness check» that followed… Dodger is My Baby Love, and Dawn’s expertise and reassurance has been there every step of the way.
My instinct for WHO is allowed to look after Dodger is ON POINT! From His breeder Sherri Conard to initial veterinarian Dr. Timothy Mann (why’d you leave Us?)…on to Dodger’s trainer, Cory Carr and now with Dawn TEAM DODGER is finally complete!
I was recently away for 13 days, in which time Dodger stayed with Dawn. Words cannot express my gratitude for the level care bestowed upon My little Dodger. I don’t think He wanted to come back!
Dawn, girl… WE love you like Good Cooked Food!
Thank you HAPPY GO PUPPY… Thank You DAWN!

We had such a terrific experience with Dawn! We called her last minute to watch our pup, Austin, and she set up a time for us to come over to see her place and to meet Austin. I could tell right away that Austin was super comfortable around her and her dog and kitties and I immediately was at ease about leaving him with her and her fiancée for the weekend. She kept us completely up to date with how Austin was doing throughout the weekend via text and even sent adorable pictures so we could see that he was happy and safe. We feel so lucky to have found Dawn and we will definitely be leaving Austin with her again next time we head out of town. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for overnight care for their pup!

Dawn is the dream of a dog sitter. For the most part, someone is at home, and when not, you dog will have (very nice) kitty friends to keep him/​her company. This is amazing for my dog, Beyoncé. At home, she seems to have some separation anxiety and has to be crated when left alone. At Dawn’s, she plays with the kitties whenever she’s rarely left alone, without a care in the world! Amazing!
I’ve left Bey with Dawn three times now — once just as an overnight, and twice during two-​week long work trips. She’s everything I could hope for in a dog sitter. As she works as a vet tech, it’s especially nice knowing that she has the training to notice any unusual changes. And as a person/​animal lover, you couldn’t ask for anyone sweeter to watch your pup while you’re away.

Dawn took great care of Meesha, my 11-​month old kitty, while I was away for 5 days on vacation (and then again for three days the next week!). I really appreciated how flexible Dawn was in arranging our «meet n greet,» how well she took to Meesha, and the periodic updates she sent me! It was also very appreciated that she was able to fit us in with fairly short notice.

So happy to have found Dawn. She is amazing, really loving with animals and professional. I found her through our vet Brooklyn Cares who’s always taken great care of our animals. Dawn took care of our little ones for 5 days while I was away and I know I could go away for even longer with Dawn taking care of them. She kept me updated the whole time, and my cats were happy as ever when I arrived home.
I highly recommend Dawn to anyone.

Above and beyond a pet sitter! Dawn not only helps my pet relax when I’m away, but helps with any of my health questions and concerns when it comes to my dog. Her knowledge from working at a vet helps me to not only feel confident in her services but she has gone out of her way even when not watching my dog to help with vet emergencies and referrals when needed. She is a god sent! Her attention to detail and helpfulness is outstanding and her heart is so big! My dog is a happy camper! And so is his mom! Can’t say thank you enough for the service you provide!

Dawn is a keeper. I have been a loyal customer for about two years now and I can’t imagine leaving my little guy (Rocky) with anyone else. I have a special needs dog that needs daily meds and lots of love. Dawn is great at both. He likes to go on short walks, but he walks at the pace of a tortoise. I never have to worry about her losing patience with him. She genuinely loves animals. I have left him with her for both long and short term stays and Rocky is always healthy and happy when I get him back. She’s great about sending updates and pictures which puts me at ease. I completely trust her and that is SO hard to find in a NYC pet sitter! In fact, she has a key to my apartment that I leave with her at all times. If you’re reading this, your search is over. She’s the one.

Bruce always had a great time when he was with Dawn. She came to stay with him at my apartment multiple times, and always left the apartment cleaner than it was when she came to stay, and I always had a happy, well-​cared for dog after her stays. I’ve since moved out of the state, but I would recommend Dawn to anyone!

Lucky has a great time with Dawn. Dawn is very professional and always updates my on how my dog is doing while I am away. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in Dawn’s care. I highly recommend happy-​go-​puppy for pet sitting.

This was my first time using Dawn’s dog sitting service and I’m so happy I found Dawn. She took care of my two Bulldogs for a week and they were so happy. Dawn was really professional and always updated me via text on how my bulldogs are doing. She sends photos of them enjoying their stay. One of my bulldogs needs extra attention to his medical needs and she followed my instructions perfectly. I was really worried I’d come back and he would be in bad shape, but he was just as good as when I dropped him off. She is really kind and also very flexible with drop off and pickup times. It was a great experience for my bulldogs. I would definitely recommend Dawn to anyone.

Dawn is professional, experienced, kind, and thoughtful. She texted me updates on my cat the whole time I was away. She even asked how he was doing when I got back to town! Dawn took care of everything from cleaning the litter box daily, to administering my cat’s medicine. She will definitely be my go-​to pet sitter from now on!

I honestly don’t know what I’d do without Dawn.
She comes to my apartment several times per week to administer meds and fluids to my cranky, fragile, older kitty because I am incapable of doing so myself. She’s able to give my cat medicine, fluids, whatever he needs, with such ease and so quickly. It makes things a lot less stressful on my 17 year old baby.
She genuinely cares about the well-​being of my cat. It’s thanks to her that my cat is not in renal failure. She is the only non-​family member I would ever trust to cat-​sit should I go out of town.
